All I want for Christmas

While some adults may be inclined to spoil kids during the holidays, some parents are keen on curtailing the excess around gift-giving. File / Global News

I’ve made a list, and checked it twice. If you are looking for some fabulous gift ideas for the holiday season, well look no further.  From around the fire on Christmas Day, to the chic fashionista in your life, I have got you covered.

All wrapped up

With the snow and cooler temperatures on the horizon why not ditch the winter coat and boots and stay indoors? Looking to lounge by the fire with family and friends? Achieve instant warmth with this fabulous chocolate brown faux fur blanket from Chapters ($80, chapters.indigo.ca). Perfect for your couch or chaise at home and available in white for that instant holiday look.

And for a little extra luxury why not throw on these faux fur slouch slippers ($29.50, chapters.indigo.ca). You will be so warm and cozy you won’t want to leave your house.

Keepin’ it cool

Looking to keep your feet dry and warm this winter? If you are like me, finding something that is on trend and comfortable yet waterproof proved impossible.  Enter Blondo, a Canadian company that understands that Canadian women want to look stylish while keeping warm. Whether you are looking for a knee-high boot that’s edgy, or a fabulous coloured wedge boot, Blondo will keep you dry and comfortable this winter. (Boots range from $130 to $260, blondo.ca)
